> What's stopping you from installing Linux this weekend? Why are you putting it off until your "next rig"?

For me it's OneDrive. I wouldn't trust it with a grocery list, but I do work for people that use it and there's no way I'd be able to connect to a share with an unofficial OneDrive app.

Microsoft has so many little hooks that's it's really hard to drop Windows if you work for / with anyone that uses anything in the MS365 ecosystem.



You can run Windows in VM, e.g. with virt-manager, which is a nice GNU/Linux GUI for QEMU/KVM. I keep Windows contained like this, would never let it run directly on bare metal these days. I even used to game on this VM (before switching to Proton) with near-native performance after passing through a Radeon GPU to Windows.
